You know for sure that everyone you meet, and want to remain in contact with, has the newest technology for exchanging information digitally, and knows how to use it. Not everyone has a smartphone. Not everybody knows how to use their smartphones. Not everyone has the proper version of the app that you need to use for accessing and giving contact info.

You can risk looking forgetful or fly-by-night. Humans at our present stage of evolution still appear to be paper-oriented creatures. (Unless you are networking with a time-traveler in the future, or Vox from the planet Xibatron.) If a person asks you for a business card and you need to answer, “I don’t have one”, they can get the impression that you simply walked out of the workplace without them by error. That could make you seem flighty. Or they may believe you have not been in business long enough to publish cards. Or that you jump right into and from business ventures often. In any event, not owning a business card may diminish your credibility.

You don’t mind getting submerged in the flood of information that’s coming at your prospects. When you look through your pile of snail mail, what exactly are you going to pull out and read first? How about a handwritten envelope? The identical principle makes a printed business card noticeable in the tidal wave of e-info your prospects cope with daily.

Let’s admit it Printed business cards usually do kill trees. So, let’s make sure those green wonders don’t die in vain. Here are suggestions for making your printed business cards a successful marketing tool:

Pick pleasing paper. Decide on a paper stock that’s inviting to touch base. Maybe a little thicker than the ordinary card. Not too much feel on the outside, but maybe not absolutely smooth either. And make sure that the colour of your paper inventory will not alter the colours of what’s printed on it, whether that’s a full-color photograph, or your business’s logo. No mustard-yellow paper to your glowing red emblem, as an example. (I speak from bitter experience.)

Utilize either side. This helps because most of us have so many parts of contact information today. Using either side gives you more space to spell out custom URLs and societal networking links.

Change the size. Since your card probably does not have to fit in a Rolodex anymore, is it a different dimension? How about a bigger card that folds down to the conventional 2 x 3.5 size?

Change the shape. Rectangles are not required. Can your print vendor change the contour, even marginally, without increasing the price by far? Ask about rounding the corners (also referred to as radius corners), or utilizing an present perish from a previous project.

Print fewer cards at a time. Contact information and job titles change fast. Print in smaller quantities at a time to remain flexible. If your card needs to include a fancy, pricey touch (such as a custom made die-cut, embossing or foil-stamping), then see if it’s possible to print “cubes” with areas left blank, so the cubes can be put back on the press and overprinted with that new information in smaller batches once the time comes. Printing fewer also gives you more flexibility to test including more or different information in your card. For instance, you may try including a QR code into your card, print 50-100, and see how folks respond.

Have over one card. Who says you can’t have two (or more) different variations of your cards? Try a version with more contact information, or distinct kinds of contact info. Perhaps a version that emphasizes among your company’s capabilities over the rest.

Take an un-card. I’ve seen fortune cookies, military “dog tags”, oversized movie tickets, wooden clothespins, playing cards, guitar picks and beverage coasters utilized as the basis for outstanding cards. For inspiration, accumulate examples of cards you like before you redesign or reprint your next batch of cards.

Using Your Company Cards Well

Now that you’ve got a fresh batch of cards you’re pleased to hand out, here’s a refresher on using them nicely:

Stash Celtics anyplace. In multiple places: briefcase, pockets, glove box. In every one of these areas, save the cards in some type of case that’s somewhat different. This is a conversation-starter.

Use them at the right moment. Attempt to escape the habit of thrusting a card at your contact also early in your first conversation. Build rapport by discovering things in common first, then exchange cards just before you part ways.

Request (and give) seconds. When you are buying cards, ask your new contact for two of his cards. Start looking for opportunities to pass that excess card to another contact who might need your new contact’s solutions. Likewise, offer two of your own cards.

Make notes, subtly. Most of us want a memory-jog at the time we sit down to actually do something with business cards we’ve received. As soon as possible do it, write a few notes about your new contact on the back or in the margins of this card that you just received from him/her. But avoid writing on a person’s business card in front of them. This can force you to appear forgetful, or make that individual feel as though you’re defacing what he/she just closely handed to you.
